Best type of radio for airsoft
 

Which radio would be a safe buy and be compatible with everyone's radios, im new to airsoft.

Thanks!

I would get in touch with your local community and ask them.

Around here, most people use FRS/GMRS radios. I use a little motorola talkabout radio with a bowman headset.

Works great.

+1

I have a motorola talkabout aswell it's a great radio!

I got an Iasus throat mic for it but I can't get it to work very well. Ill take a look at the bowman headset.

edit: Get an UHF type radio.

Motorola talkabout's are useless when there is any distance involved or thick veg/bush in an outdoor game.

Contact TechSeller on ASC or goto his site:

edit: my mistake. its late and I'm tiered. they are called UHF type radios. again - my mistake. going to sleep now ;)

thanks, would the bowman headset work with that radio aswell?

You need to get the correct PTT and head-set that connects to it.

Most of the UHF radios use Kenwood two-pin connectors.

search: headset & ptt

I highly recommend contacting techseller and ask him your specific questions

Ok, thanks for the help.

Motorola GP68 UHF have amazing Distance...

np dude - glad I could be of some type of assistance

I used to be in the same boat- had the rinky-dinky talkabouts and now I have moved onto the UHF type radios. you will never look back ;)

all the best

I have never had any range issues with my talkabouts.

Can UHF radio's communicate with standard FRS/GMRS radios?

You obviously have not been in a large, deep forested area, especially when it start to rain.

And yes - UHF have FRS/GMRS channels

Another advantage of UHF radios is the battery life - they will last MUCH longer than talkabouts.

Thats true, I wish I could get out to more remote games (Enough of flag raiders already!)

Thanks for the info dude!

no prob ;)

always glad to pass on helpful info.

when you try a UHF radio compared to a talkabout, its like night and day.

all the best
